Make that three players off last year's World Series winning Boston Red Sox team that have signed with the New York Yankees as free agents this offseason.

Andrew Bailey, the right-handed reliever once acquired as part of a trade that sent Josh Reddick to the Oakland A's, signed a one-year minor league contract with the Yankees, according to ESPN.com. The incentive-laden deal is worth up to $2.5 million and includes an option and buyout for 2015.

Bailey will join outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury and left-handed reliever Matt Thornton as the most recent defects from the Red Sox to the Yankees.

He was good when he was healthy with the Red Sox, but that wasn't often. Bailey threw just 15 1/3 innings in 2012 and 28 2/3 innings in 2013. He had a 4.91 ERA in two seasons in Boston, at one point serving as the Red Sox's closer before requiring shoulder surgery.
